I have Note 7, my first non-nexus device going back to the G1, and its a brilliant piece of technology. The screen is flawless, its blazing fast, and the stylus is great for notes on OneNote. I am pretty bummed out Samsung couldn't get their manufacturers to deliver on 100% quality and control. I can't think of what other device to get. The Pixel XL looks fine, but it lacks wireless charging, a 5.7" screen, and a stylus.
For the record, Touchwiz is a bit too much, so I changed my launcher and made a few changes to the UI to align more with stock android. But other than that, I couldn't be happier with the ticking time bomb of a phone.
- victorhooi 10y agoI was initially annoyed by the removal of wireless charging from the Nexus 5X (I previously had a Nexus 5). However, to be honest, wireless charging was always 1. flakey (placement had to be just right - often I'd check in the morning and it hadn't charged) and 2. super slow. I'd much rather trade it off for super-fast charging (Pixel is meant to do 7 hours of battery life in 15 minutes), and the reversible (and standardised!) USB-C cable. I've always preferred smaller phones, so the 5" and 5.5" screens are fine for me (although I'm obviously going for the standard Pixel at 5") - and stylus to me doesn't make sense on a smaller phone screen anyhow - I have a tablet for that. Agree with you that Touchwiz is too much - I've always hated it and found it gimmicky and tacky - and it tends to bog down the phone over time, like a bad Windows install.
